A good basic spin bike - needs adjustments for Zwif
Was quick and easy to build. I changed the seat straight away so no issues with comfort on the seat. It does start squeaking if you go too fast and it’s not the sturdiest – needs regular tightening of all the bolts. And there’s fine black dust gathering under it where I assume something is rubbing.
In terms of the Bluetooth connectivity, it’s not great for Zwift as the power output isn’t accurate. I’ve disconnected the bikes sensor and attached a separate cadence sensor to the pedal and a speed sensor stuck to the flywheel.
For the price though it’s a decent bit of equipment and has got me through the miserable days when I don’t fancy cycling outside.
Facile da montare, subito utilizzabile
La presentazione del prodotto corrisponde esattamente a quanto riscontrato.
decisamente un prodotto robusto , silenzioso e adattabile all’altezza di chi lo usa
Impossible de se connecter au bluetooth du vlo donc l’application en ligne ne fonctionne pas. L’ordinateur est trs mdiocre un seul bouton pour le prix pas terrible. En revanche le vlo est silencieux.
spining bike
l’ho acquistata ieri e oggi e arrivata in 20′ minuti l’ho montata si connessa subito con zwift la consiglio ottima qualit prezzo
Pleased but had to make adjustments
Had read previous reviews relating to 5ft 3 height so purchased thinking it couldn’t be that different, however I’m only 5ft 1 and it was way too high; my feet couldn’t reach the pedals.
We had to cut to size the adjuster bar for the seat, reducing by two holes. Connected and used via Zwift with no issues, just wish the seat was not as hard.
Overall a decent bike if you’re prepared to make adjustments.
Solida e compatta
Bella e soprattutto funzionale. Solida e molto facile da montare
Ottimo acquisto
Leggendo le recensioni non ero molto convinto ma mi sono ricreduto corrispondeva perfettamente alla descrizione
Value for money
Happy so far. But one of the nuts will not screw on properly because the thread is damaged.
very good for price
paid 183 pounds if you can get it cheeper even better.
Excellent value for money
Easy to set up and move with the transport wheels. Well made, easy to use use the dashboard and get Bluetooth link.
Good
Excellent customer service from the company selling this. I had a minor issue with the bike which they sorted quickly and satisfactorily. Bike itself is great so far. The seat is uncomfortable, but then they usually are, so I’ve purchased a gel pad for it.
Here’s what you need to know
It’s ok for the money however the seat is incredibly uncomfortable so buying a padded cover. Also these cheap bikes make it hard to replicate a hill. If you cycle up a hill even if you stop peddling for 1 second the wheels are still turning. However on this bike if you stop for a second the wheel stops and there is no momentum so you have to try and get it started again. Now I get why people spend big. Good bike for the money though
easy to set up
Daughter loves it and can control the speed she likes to go at quick delivery and very good value for money
Very impressed
I am very impressed with my purchase. The bike arrived 2 days ahead of the scheduled delivery date. It was well packaged and easy to assemble. It’s as good as any spin bike I’ve used in a gym. Very highly recommended.
Bella cyclette, non il massimo ma un buon compromesso x chi, come me, non ha esigenze particolari ma vuole fare un po’ di attivit in casa. Io sono 1,72 circa ed perfetta. Facile da montare, forse un po’ rumorosa se si aumenta l’attrito. La borraccia bella esteticamente ma non si riesce a togliere la puzza che sembra benzina.
Il bluetooth si connette ma non il massimo con l’app Zwift: l’avatar corre ma non ha velocit. Ho provato anche a prendere un sensore di cadenza/velocit a parte ma niente da fare. Comunque sono soddisfatto dell’acquisto.
Easy bike
Brought this to strengthen an arthritic knee and wanted something sturdy as I’m not the smallest of sizes. Also wanted something that felt more like a bike than an exercise bike.
Delivery was quick and easy. Box is very heavy, had more trouble getting out of the box than putting it together.
Assembly was so easy and I managed to do it alone, had a problem with one of the pedals but that was me, when I contacted the company they replied straight away while I was still mid trying, suggested I was turning the wrong way and I was!
It’s quiet, the bottle holder is easy, the place to put your phone is great and links to Zwift easy… I needed my daughter to sort that bit!
My daughter is shorter than me at 5ft 3, she can use it with the seat in the first peg hole. The seat is comfy enough for me, short distances. My daughter finds it a little uncomfortable after a 45 min ride.
I’ve near tried a spin style bike before, just had normal ones. It is great plus I can even stand to cycle on it, which is impressive, as said I’m not small.
Great bike
Robusta e interessante per inesperti con regolabilita
Moltorobusta e valida sia per inesperti come e dello spinning
utile in quarantena
bella e funzionale , la consiglio per tenersi in forma ad un buon livello
Ottimo compromesso qualit/prezzo, per un allenamento a casa. Rispetto ad una bike professionale ci sono grosse differenze in negativo sul freno al volano, stabilit e facilit di setting al volo perch ha meno gradi di libert su sellino e manubrio. Comunque, una volta trovata una posizione decente ho gestito tranquillamente una lezione di spinnig; ottima la possibilit di sistemare un tablet sul manubrio a scapito, purtroppo, del computer che deve essere spostato. Se non si hanno troppe esigenze va benissimo, speriamo che duri nel tempo.
Good support team and urgency in getting the parts ou
Had a problem with the welding on the seat slider, they got me the part out with in two days very happy with there support team
Would buy agai
Very easy to put together.
Very quiet when using.
Seat is uncomfortable after around 30 minutes. Need to get a seat cover for prolonged use.
La spedizione stata pi che veloce, infatti arrivata prima del previsto. Il montaggio semplice e veloce, ho impiegato circa 25 min a renderle operativa. E’ stabile ma ha un leggerissimo “gioco” sul manubrio, ma niente di compromettente.
No height problem.
I only got it yesrerday. Seat height is fine for 6ft 2 in the version I received as it had the extended seat piece. Zwift works but speed is a little slow as other bikes pass me. Seat is a little uncomfortable.
Worth the money
Easy to assemble, very sturdy but the seat isn’t the most comfortable. All in all a good bike for the price.
Great bike - so pleased with i
Love my new bike – easy to set up . The seat is easy to adjust- I bought a seat pad due to the reviews saying how you needed one. So it s now a comfortable ride ! Liked that it came with its own water bottle, although most water bottles will fit. It was easy to connect to Zwift . So pleased with it.
It s definitely worth paying more for (I bought a cheaper one first & the LCD wasn’t recording anything & the company wanted me to fix it myself. I got a full refund & decided to pay a bit more).
Great Bike
The bike is great, very sturdy, and gives a good workout. The only negative is the saddle it comes with is awfully uncomfortable, seriously can’t sit on it for more than a few seconds. I bought a new saddle immediately. However it’s dead easy to change and makes a huge difference. Fab bike though.
Flywheel is heavy quiet and fast.
After months of trawling the Internet for good reviews as I know great spinning bikes are really expensive which I didn’t want to buy so I kept going back to this bike. For 399 it is very sturdy and me and my partner are quite large and that was my main concern it would be a bit unstable. I have used spinning bikes a few years ago at the gym and moving this around it feels the same weight as some at the gym. Obviously the seats are never comfy but I recall the first time I got on a spinning bike and after a few sessions it did feel comfier. Glad I bought it! So far so good.
Time manageme
One of the screws was difficult so took longer than stated overall good purchase
Una cyclette ideale per chi vuole allenarsi, e per chi ha bisogno solo di tenersi in movimento. Semplicissima da montare, molto robusta, e io che sono 105 kg, lo posso affermare.
La consiglio al 100 %, e ovviamente la consegna in anticipo di 2 giorni. Top!!!!
Fantastic and connects to Zwift and RGT easily
So, I was after a budget exercise bike that would connect to Zwift, looked at lots of options, such as cheaper exercise bikes and adding on the sensors needed.
Too much hassle, so went for the Nero Sports.
Very quick delivery, arrived the day before the earliest quoted delivery day, bonus!
Basically 8 bolts, 2 pedals and the handlebars and ass punisher! Sorry the seat!
30 minutes later, not only does it connect to Zwift, but RGT (which is free) effortlessly.
A further 30 minutes later, ass taken a pounding, legs like jelly, bit thoroughly happy with this purchase.
Great for getting started, and if you don’t have thousands to spend on the latest tech training machines.
All good so fa
Fairly straightforward to assemble and managed on my own. One nut was jammed on so needed to get a couple of wrenches to try and free so I could put a pedal on. Bike runs quiet and a week in all is good. Bike seats are never comfy but this is no more uncomfortable than others. Zwift app picked up the Bluetooth easily but had hoped there would be a free app to connect with. Wish the iPhone would be able to pick it up or even my Fitbit.
Zwift only???
I love this bike. Its not gym room, but for a cheap home bike its as bloody close to it as you’re going to get.
I’m 5’6 and 230lbs… hence why i got the bike but it’s very sturdy, even for me.
I love that it cycles through each display so you don’t have to press buttons whilst you cycle.
The holder is perfect for a phone or ipad to watch whilst you cycle.
I don’t rate the free bottle, well its OK, but not for exercising. I’m not going to screw a top of the bottle whilst I’m cycling and I drink more than what that bottle holds any way, but the holder does easily carry my 900ml with a straw bottle which is fab.
My hubby set it up which he did pretty quickly and no issues.
My only issue is the Bluetooth. I’ve not been able to sync it up to any other app and I hadn’t planned on having to use zwift. I mean, I will if I have to. But if that’s the only app it syncs to, it should state that. I’ll update if I find another app it works with…
Good value for money
Easy to assembly,Bluetooth also connected easily.Little bit squeaky,but bearable.My only issue is the tension.It’s either very easy,or very hard,very little in between.
The saddle spoils a good produc
Overall a good product except for the saddle,I bought a gel cover but still get a sore groin.Im contemplating buying a more comfortable saddle. ANY ideas welcome.
Excellent bike
Seat is uncomfortable and takes time to get used to it.
Easy to use
Doesn’t take up much space
Easy to manoeuvre, as not too heavy
Sarah
My husband assembled it so I wouldn’t know about that but he never mentioned any problems. It’s a nice bike, very smooth and sturdy, a little uncomfortable in the saddle but I’ve got my own gel cover to put over it! Overall am very pleased and would recommend.
My review
I received the item early. Its easy to assembly the only issue I had was with the. Left pedal but was fixed. I have purchase this to use with zwift, it works but to work better I have purchase cadence sensor and speed sensor.
Looks good, feels good, Zwift good!
Took me only 30-40 minutes to assemble on my own, but most of it was pretty straight forward and only needed to refer to the manual a couple of times.
Sadly the pin will not go to the lowest the seat notch, but it still a comfortable height. I love the ability to adjust the seat position.
The tablet holder will not support larger tablets unless you fold the attached Nero computer back, so my Microsoft Surface Pro is not a snug fit but it accomodates all of the mobile phones and other tablets we use in the house.
Connecting to Zwift via Bluetooth was immediate, and it runs off batteries so you can place the bike anywhere. The rollers on the end are a nice touch so moving the bike is really easy.
All in all, I love the Nero Sports Bluetooth cycle. Easy to assemble, had the resisted adjuster in the best position, and the water bottle and holder is a nice feature.
Thank you.
Lo e i
Brilliant product..a little hiccup at first with the lcd display. After sales was supportive and really helpful.
Love i
Great bike for price
This bike is great considering it is connecting to apps. I have read reviews that it is not suitable for tall people,I’m 177 cm and still can move seat even further. It’s sturdy as I’m 95 kg, just seat is not comfy at all and making bit of noise. I had problem with pedal but they have great customer service so got sorted.
Seems sturdy, went together well, v.happy so far. Was advised all newer (& mine) came with long seat post so I think taller should now be fine, I am only 5’11” but sure a few more notches still to go.
I really bought to go with zwift to keep me motivated but was disappointed as everyone much faster, cannot get above 90w without mad peddling. Don’t want too & know cannot race proper but would like to pace myself with others on routes. I think the bike uses cadence to work speed & hence power. I bought a extra cadence as some advised but think redundant as that is what the bike emits however .. see later
Now bought a garmin speed sensor and attached as show, little plastic L with sticky velco so on proper plane.
You can mount flat but does not wake up (OK once awake & flat on wheel , now tested as such)
Now works well, use that as speed and unknown roller( could try others), oddly now cannot use the bikes cadence (otherwise would have said only buy the speed sensor but pairs cheaper usually) again little testing so it might.
So using the wahoo cadence I bought initially so perhaps not a waste.
Set up with various wheel sizes to suite you.
I use to use the companion app which worked great before, not so sure now so just the bike & sensors.
I also unplugged the bike sensors as Zwift kept wanted to use this, again might be able to fix if you try.
anyway, now can go faster than most so will adjust wheel size but easy 150w+ & sure will find happy balance so can keep up with some without taking advantage.
Update. Started clicking loudly all of a sudden, like someone else took of belt guard but was not as they suggested, a screw. In my case simply was the big silver nut tightening the crank shaft. Little worring as was quite tight & only needed a tweak to stop & not sure could do up much more. Was a loud click so suspect something not quite right. Fine now & only tested a little. The lock nut must have iffy thread as does not tighten at all up against the other so will have to keep eye out for this.
Great company
The control panel didn’t work so sent a message to the company and got back to me immediately and sent a new one next day a great company to bye from .
Great value and now comes with seat pole extension for taller people
Firstly to note it now comes with the taller seat post as standard, I am 5″9 and I am almost on the shortest setting now. I’d almost say it has gone the other way in that someone in the 5ft to 5ft 4 might even find it too tall now!
Easy to assemble, it almost took me more time to unbox and remove all of packing plastic than to actually assemble it. It feels pretty solid, the only exception is the handlebars do flex a little and as someone who dislikes clip in peddles old-school toe cages are welcome.
Comms and service from the seller is excellent and at the price I would highly recommend it.
I was looking for a spin bike during lockdown to replace my regular gym classes. I wanted to use Zwift with it Peloton is expensive to buy, doesn’t connect to Zwift and costs around 50 per month. Watt bike is also expensive , less than Peloton, connects to Zwift but has a 3 to 4 month waiting list. I came across this inexpensive exercise bike that reported to work with Zwift. For the price I thought would try it as it comes with 5 years warrantee ( ok I was wary ).
It came within 4 days, easy to assemble and connected to Zwift with no problems.
However there was a squeak which was annoying but I thought it would go with use a plenty of wd40.
It did not go but became a clank and I could not tighten the offending crank. I contacted Alec and Simon via Amazon and the communications were swift. Once it was discovered there was a mechanical issue they sent me a new one once available and arranged collection for the old one at no extra cost to me.
The bike is now 3 week# in and other than the occasional squeak it is working fine.
The service from Alec and Simon is very good and they provide the support.
I will provide an update after a few months of Zwifting.
Brilliant produc
Easy to setup and was riding in 20 minutes of arrival
Great Bluetooth integration with Zwif
6ft1 male fits fine!
Lots of reviews staying the bike is too small. I’m 6ft1 and get a sweat up every morning on this thing. No complaints.
Great Bike
Easy to assemble and size is fine for me (6ft) along with excellent follow up customer service
Value for money
Slight problem with dilivery 4 days late, I spoke to the seller’s costumer service and found them very good, I found it easy to assemble it could be more sturdier, I connected to the zwift app with no problems,the bottle holder is fragile I caught it with my foot and the bottom edge broke off rendering it useless, one thing i would say about the water bottle dont drink water out of it with just a rinse, in mine there was a strong smell of the oil lubricant used in the manufacture. The bike is not to a gym standard but all in all good value for money.
Uncomfortable saddle
Easy to build, done within half an hour. Good height for me and I’m 5ft11 so I’m not sure if they are now including the higher saddle.
Bought this for Zwift and to burn some calories, connects nicely and gets you going but obviously being a spin bike there’s a limit to speed so you can’t really race on this. Regardless, you can still cycle round and set goals and do routes etc.
Overall happy with this although the saddle is like sitting on concrete, rather uncomfortable…..
Easy!
Easy to put together. a little bit squeaky in places.
Overall worth the money.
Solid bike but needs to have the saddle higher for some of us
The bike is fine as a domestic variety and for the price. The highest the saddle will go is not high enough for anyone 5’10 or above, so went online and found a longer version of the saddle bar ( 46 cm ) which gets it to the right height for taller people. Nero’s sports make the longer version and is sold on Amazon by Blue-unplugged for 24.99. A little annoyed this longer version was not standard on the bike. Other than that it seems ok and the bike seems solid
Good for the price
For the price, I think this is a good bike, the wheel is very very quiet. When pedalling standing up the handlebars tend to squeak a bit which is annoying. When adjusting the handlebars there is a clip which sits over the join with the lower part which keeps coming out, so we don’t adjust them any more. If they could just invent a comfort bike seat!! I’m 5 ft 4 in, and hubby 5 ft 11, and we both find it a good size
Nice bike
Still using bike doing 30 plus miles a day using app A1
Great value
Great value. Had an issue with the computer, the seller sent me a new one straight away. Problem solved
I’ve been using this indoor bike daily for 2 weeks now. After a decent shakedown period, here are my thoughts…
1) Don’t bother buying this equipment if you are 6’0″ or taller. I’m 5’9″ and I have the saddle and seat at their maximum heights respectively. This is not a bike built for tall people.
2) The seat is quite uncomfortable. In the end I have to wear my cycling shorts (with their extra padding) to use the bike for any length of time to avoid getting uncomfortable. This is a bit disappointing as half of the benefit of having an indoor bike is to _not_ have to get into as much cycling gear. It would have been nice if a pair of shorts was sufficient.
3) The assembly is generally quite straightforward, with two exceptions. The first is that it’s a bit awkward to assemble on your own. The second is that the manual lists all the nuts, bolts, etc that you can expect to have with the bike. Some of those bolts have been put in situ on some components and aren’t in the plastic bag. For a few minutes I thought I’d been short-changed until I realised what the manufacturer had done.
4) The bike itself is sufficiently quiet and stable to use indoors without disturbing anyone. That said, the nuts and bolts need tightening a bit more frequently than I’d hoped. The tools that come with the bike are adequate to assemble, but possibly a touch inadequate to tighten everything up as much as is probably needed.
200km in though and overall I am satisfied with my purchase.
Had to return but company were amazing about refunds
I enjoyed using the bike, the LED display was great and linked well to Zwift. The bike was easy to put together, came mostly assembled. I did have some issues with the bike later which seemed to be singularly a issue with my bike. The company was great and offered a replacement or a full repayment INCLUDING extra costs for returning.
Extremely helpful customer service
This is an excellent product but it is even better in light of the highly impressive customer service that I’ve received. I bought the spin bike in June this year but then had a problem with the resistance dial the other day (the thread connecting the dial to the resistance plate had worn away which meant that the resistance dial wouldn’t work). I contacted the seller about the problem and they were highly responsive and sent a replacement part for next day delivery. it now works a treat! Great customer service and, as we know, that can never be guaranteed these days!
Amazing service and bike
I brought this last week it was supposed to come the following week it came within a couple of days. The set up was easy.
There was an issue with the computer part with the Bluetooth dropping from zwift app I contacted the seller they contacted me almost straight away to give advice to try a few things. This didn’t work so they sent out a new box it again came extremely quickly and now seems to be working great
I have been extremely impressed with customer service from this seller the bike is perfect for what I need it for. I was very worried spending so much on one product on amazing but would highly recommend this seller 5*
Home spin bike
Has to raise saddle post as I’m 6:2 other than that it is great and I do about 150 miles a week on it….well worth the purchase…
A Good amatorial bike
It’s a good exercise bike, i suggest it if you don’t want to be too much competitive.
The seat it’s uncomfortable.
I tried it for professionals training but after a month the pedal’s lace let me down.
Another thing, when i use zwift app and you increase the resistance the watt power doesn’t change if u still having the same cadence
Great!!
Arrived so quickly! Easy to put together! Making a few strange noises but only on a certain setting. Aside from that it’s perfect! Great customer service communication as well!!
Thank you!
I bought this bike for my wife and me during the pandemic so keep us active. I’m over 6ft 2″ meaning I had to purchase the seat extender pole, but that made it very comfortable for me (negative reviews on this clearly didn’t have the pole). I then swap it out when my wife rides. I also purchased a gel seat cover as I found the seat quite uncomfortable..
The main attraction of the bike for me was Zwift as i find normal exercise bikes boring, The bike was easy to setup and I was riding in no time. The Zwift connection works really well (just start peddling to activate bluetooth) and Zwift gives you a whole new level of motivation and enjoyment. I actually look forward to riding now to see if i can beat my times and ride with others around the world. Zwift also connects to Strava and uploads the virtual routes you’ve ridden which is pretty cool.
I did need a couple of replacement parts which was a shame. The seat holder broke and I needed a new crank / peddle. However, Simon, who is the seller, was absolutely amazing to deal with and posted the parts the next day. The bike has a 3 year warranty so this gives me confidence in the bike if there’s future problems/
It’s really the customer service that’s pushed this to a 5* rating and the connectivity gives exercise a while new dimension.
Nero bluetooth spinning bike

Down side :It was a bit of a fiddle putting together, took me about an hour but no problem with the fittings.
Seat is a tad on the hard side when your on it racing for an hour with the Zwift app
Has a bit of a squeak when racing.
Up side: great for spinning, feels sturdy when standing, pedals are solid. Gives you all your stats and connected to the zwift app easily.
Overall happy with this purchase 🙂
I discovered Zwift recently and have been looking at ways of getting involved without spending hundreds or thousands. As an overweight oldie I just wanted to get some exercise during lockdown. I bought this on the spur of the moment as it claims to connect to Zwift! Well… it does 🙂 in seconds! Without any faffing about. Probably one of the cheapest ways of getting on Zwift particularly if you don’t own a bike. It arrived 4 days earlier than scheduled, was a breeze to put together. It is sturdy and seems to be well built , bar the plasticky computer thing but that, I assume, is how it connects to Zwift. I was initially worried it was going to take up tons of room but it’s fairly compact, a thing that has led to some bigger people complaining, although I think there is a seat extension. I am 5’8 and it fits me well although it’s not the most comfortable thing I’ve sat on :). Yep.. I will be changing the tortuous saddle. All in all I love it.. I’ve already lost 2lbs in 3 days… it is going to be part of my world (and Zwift) for hopefully a long time to come.
Beautiful strong bike.
What a beautiful strong bike. Quality and comfort. An excellent bike for use at home. Built strong and definitely worth every penny. To have quality workouts you need to have quality equipment…..and this bike fits the bill. Works brilliant with spin classes on you tube. The computer is not great and appears flimsy and cheap….but what do you expect witing the price range. If you are over 6 feet tall you will probably need a longer seat stem to be in the right position. Overall an excellent bike well worth it will strengthen your legs feet and core and will burn them calories you dont want. Thank you selle
Nero Sports bike
Good solid bike & easy to assemble. The seat was a bit narrow for me so bought another one. The resistance did make a noise but husband used a little oil on the leather part & no more noise.
The Bluetooth was easy to set up, you get a free go on Zwift then you can sign up/pay if you want to.
Super Delivery, received within 2 days. Did contact the seller with a question & received a prompt reply. Excellent custom service, would highly recommend.
Great exercise bike!
I love this bike. As someone with sightloss, it allows me to do regular exercise. It’s easy to put together and it’s sturdy. The only fault I have with it is that I can’t seem to get the Bluetooth working, and there’s limited instructions on how to do this.
I bought the bike because I wanted to use Zwift. It ticks all the boxes as it does work with Zwift and Zwift makes things a bit more fun and a challenge.
Bluetooth connection to my desktop and Swift is simple. Worked straightaway with no messing.
One mystery is that Zwift seems to be saying it can control the resistance (going up hills) and I don’t think it is my imagination that I have to work harder on slopes, but this doesn’t get mentioned as a feature in the bike manual, so I don’t know 100% if it does or doesn’t, but it feels like it does! It is shown as controllable in the flyer showing how to connect to Zwift and the Zwift set up shows it as enabled.
I am 1.82m tall (6′) and the bike doesn’t feel small to me and is comfortable to use EXCEPT FOR THE SEAT! I got a gel padded saddle cover and have thankfully quickly lost the temporary squeaky voice. The product loses a star because of the seat.
Buy a bluetooth heart rate monitor to complete the setup for Zwift.
Very impressed
I don’t usually write reviews but after being scammed buying a cheaper bike (Amazon where brill they got us our money back) I decided to do a review to help others. At first we were dubious of this product however we are very impressed. Excellent at home bike, very sturdy and doesn’t take up much room. Overall very happy. 100% recommend
I chose this bike to replace my old turbo trainer as an indoor exercise bike. I have done a lot of spin classes in the past and for indoor training i do prefer it over the turbo or standard gym exercise bikes. It arrived within 2 days of ordering and took me about 30mins to assemble, which was very easy to do. It’s a great looking bike, sturdy and has the features you would expect in a spin bike. I did review the comments beforehand so to answer loads of questions already posted there without you having to trawl through several pages here’s some feedback that my help:
Firstly and most importantly, if you are close to 6 foot or over you need to purchase the extended seat post, specific to this machine (available on Amazon in about a week according to the seller – posted 13th July 2020). If you are this height and you wish to use this properly with the correct distance between seat and pedals, the standard seat post is too short and you will potentially injure yourself as you won’t be in the right position. For those who have had a road bike fit and set up done, you will understand.
This is a great training machine which you can use with Zwift, however it will not change the resistance as the terrain changes on your chosen virtual route. And quite frankly for the cost of the machine I wouldn’t expect it to. If you want that functionality then you need a smart turbo or one of the popular (but expensive at over 1k) online connected spin bikes.
To use this effectively I would highly recommend you connect to one of the many YouTube spin classes and treat it as though you were in the actual class (just don’t cheat!). If you can change the pedals to clipped in ones which provide greater power and comfort during training it will help get more from the sessions. This is a suggestion of course, you don’t need to do this and can have fun without them.
I would like to close this review by giving some credit to the seller. I contacted them about the lack of availability of the extended seat post and they came back to me within an hour, offering me a second hand post they had had returned to them, free of charge, if I didn’t want to wait the 10 days until the new ones arrived. This was sent to me in 1 working day (emailed them Friday morning and the post arrived Monday lunchtime) and works a dream. Great service and a company if would highly recommend.
Got the bike as lockdown prevented me from swimming in my gym. Noted gaining weight so had to start. Order came the next day which I was impressed with. Assembling ( help of hubby needed) was straightforward. Sliding seat was faulty , sent message and got immediate response from seller that replacement is beign sent for the part which arrived in 2 days. Bike by itself is impressive and for the price it appears sturdy. Still figuring out the zwift app, have downloaded on mobile but guess have to put it in tablet so can use it. Unsure if alternate apps can be used with this bike. will have to look around.
Overall, delivery, replacement part, putting together and initial ride appears smooth. Happy with my purchase.
Lovely bike and arrived early which is a bonus
Been looking for a while to purchase a spin bike and we were planning to purchase a super expensive bike but compromised so we could upgrade our roadbikes and found this gem. Assembly took around 20mins with 2 people. Simple instructions. Love the Zwift app, use it pretty much everyday since we received the bike. My partner never enjoyed spin classes, but with Zwift, he has become super competitive. I have read some reviews that the seat is not comfortable but I’ve never cycled and not complained about my seat, so no issues for me. Lastly, we received the bike a week earlier, which was amazing…happy customers!!
Happy 😃
Happy with my new purchase…. love the fact you can interact with an app helps with the boredom. Seat supplied was really uncomfortable, but ordered a new saddle so no issue.
Easy to set up
Easy to connect to app
Delivery was supper fast, ETA was nearly 2 weeks but received within 3/4 days.
it is good product for its value
It is good for its value. some delay ondelicery. Sign up to Zwift. it felt quite motivated doing in online. Parts could be improve, for example the seat needs to be unscrew to adjust the high. And it is not that flexible, quite tight to adjust the seat or the front bar. Other then that. it is a good product for its value.
Perfect for home
Great bike for the price, ordered Saturday delivered Tuesday!!!
I assembled it in half an hour, just needed a better spanner to tighten the seat but that’s expected really.
It’s for my wife who loves her spin class and is missing it, she’s all set and tried it out and loves it. Haven’t tried the app yet as she’s got a mix track on I tunes.
Definitely recommend
Great produc
This is a great bike quiet and sturdy and was delivered the next day. I need the longer seat extension so made an enquiry about this and received a prompt response saying they will be in stock next week. Great service.
An OK bike but LCD screen has stopped after 5 months.
Really good excercise bike. The only thing I would change is the seat, I bought a gel seat from Amazon which has made it more comfortable. Easy to assemble, took 20 minutes to set up.
Update after 5 months the LCD screen has stopped working. I have sent two emails to the seller but no reply. The bike is still working but it helps with the LCD to see what km you have done.
Great bike for the money
I’m glad I bought this bike, only took me about 60 minutes to pout up (there’s only about 8 pieces and 10 bolts to tighten. The app really makes the difference, every time I’ve been on a bike in the gym I find it a chore to do 30 minutes due to boredom but the riding this bike while racing with 100’s of other people around London is fun, I’ve just done an hour and I was absolutely ringing wet, it really does help, highly recommended!
I bought this product as I was missing my spin class during lockdown – its not like the 1k bikes you get in a studio, but its sturdy enough for me (5’10”, 80kg).
Occasionally the brake would make an unusual noise, but that due to it being a pad vs magnetic brake, and I suspect this will bed in, or I’ll put a drop of oil on it.
I easily connected to Zwift where it takes the speed/power from the bike, but obviously that is just the speed the wheel will turn as there are no gears, so when you up the resistance you will slow down, but perfectly adequate for simulating going up a hill – but its not like a turbo trainer.
I gave 4 stars for comfort as the seat is a little hard, but I plan to order another comfier one for the longer sessions.
If your expecting a Studio quality bike, this is not for you, if you’re looking for a practical space friendly alternative that will give you the same level of work out as a studio bike, this is ideal and I’d highly recommend.
Very comfortable
Very good sturdy bike, would have like the tension or gears to be marked and be more of an increased tension, if that makes sense.
Well built but check the dimensions carefully
Arrived only a few days after ordering. Well packaged. Easy to assemble, took me about 30 minutes. Feels sturdy and robust. The LCD display is clear and easily links to my tablet by Bluetooth. I’ve downloaded a couple of cycle training apps which work well with the bike. Overall I’m happy it.
+ Appears robust but time will tell
+ Quiet in operation
– The seat is uncomfortable and the post is too small. Even on maximum extension my legs are still too bent. The extension post is currently unavailable
– Handlebar post is similarly on the short side.
Excellent service
Not a bad bike at all. Only have it a week but I’m very happy so far. The seat isn’t the most comfortable.
The delivery only took 3 days to Ireland, excellent service thank you.
I’d recommend this bike.
Excellent delivery. Would have only given a 4 if it wasn't for the excellent after sales service
I ordered both the treadmill and Exercise bike on the Saturday and they both arrived on the Tuesday. I m highly impressed with the delivery.
The treadmill was easy to set up just needed to tighten the belt a little after the first run.
The bike was the same, I only had 2 slight Issues one of the stoppers for the handle bars was missing and as per a previous buyer I found the seat post to short for me. If your over 5′ 6″ I would suggest buying the longer option post.
I emailed the issues on the Tuesday got an immediate response and both parts arrived with me on the Thursday. Couldn’t have asked for more.
Setting Zwift up on both machines is quite easy to do and I love the fact my results can be uploaded to both Garmin and Strava at the same time when you complete your workout.
All in all I’m more than satisfied with my purchases.
Seat too low and frame was bent on arrival
When assembling I had issues with the screws for the legs due to a bend in the frame. Luckily I had spare longer screws which solved the issue. Further issues observed with the seat with the bolts not tightening and the seat bar way too short. Overall the bike is good but certainly not as rigid as my previous bike. Hopefully I can get a seat extender bar which will improve this product immensely
I rarely write reviews but this has impressed me so much I just had to. This bike is a great bit of kit at a great price. It looks nice, it feels really sturdy and it runs quietly. It also has lots of ways to customise the setup to get the fit right for each person.
It connects to Zwift easily and works perfectly with the app which is a lot of fun and adds a whole new dimension to indoor cycling. It’s great fun. I definitely recommend giving the free trial a go.
It was really easy to assemble and there wasn’t much assembly required. I did most of it alone but it was definitely helpful to have a second pair of hands for the first 2 steps putting the feet on.
The only bad bit about this bike is the seat. I saw from a previous review the seat wasn’t the most comfortable so I ordered a gel seat cover at the same time. That helped but I ended up buying a whole new saddle. That was really easy too though because this bike uses a standard seat post.
Super happy with my purchase and would recommend it to anyone looking.
Fantastic Bike; even better seller.
The bike arrived faulty but the seller was amazing providing literally overnight the spare parts and the tools to fix it.
Also please note that though the bike is a bit on the small side they do sell larger seat posts. I am 6ft with long torso and short legs and I think the bike is about 2″ too short for me.
This is my third spin bike and I must admit it seems very well made and very quiet. Currently I am very pleased with my purchase.
Very good
As a runner I needed this for a bit of a change of stimulus. I am not a cyclist by any means but you can get a good workout on this and it connects to Zwift which is amazing way to cycle virtually including races and group rides etc
Needed to buy saddle extender as the one they send would be max for someone around 5’7 or + a seat cover as the seat was quite touch on the old buttocks.
Would definitely recommend and have had a lot of fun using it already
Excellent performance and value for money
Excellent value for money. This bike is easy to assemble, having your own tools will make it quicker. Take care when assembling it and ensure everything is level and you will have a sturdy end product. It’s works brilliantly and is quite for a home bike, there isn’t any bangs or clangs from peddles. Overall it is excellent value, looks great and performs great.
I am not good at putting things like this together but managed on my own. For the price this seems a bargain to me – it is solid and quiet and connected to Zwift with no issues at all. Don’t expect luxury like those much more expensive bikes when it comes to the computer fittings but you won’t even notice it and it’s by far the least important part of the item. It still works perfectly.
It is very heavy so get some help bringing it in. I worried once when one of the screws pinged off while tightening but that’s my own fault you should always tighten them together the same time and not over tighten them.
Now I have actually used it it is perfect for me and such a good price. I have never used a spin bike before but it seems very quiet to me – it is fully adjustable with the saddle height, position length and also the handlebars.
In short it is worth every penny you might get a better one for more money but not for the same amount.
The bike arrived quickly before the expected date so we were very pleased with that.
My son is using the bike for exercising but he finds the saddle a little uncomfortable
. We also had to pay someone to fit the bike together as neither of us could work out how to assemble it.
He is using the bike and finds it helpful for exercising.
Exactly what I was looking for. It was a bit more than I’d been hoping to spend, but have no regrets now I’ve used it for a couple of weeks. Plus it’s a lot cheaper than any alternatives I could find which would also be compatible with Zwift.
It’s very easy to put together and then link up to Zwift. Admittedly, I don’t have much to compare to, but the build quality/sturdiness of the bike seems great to me.
The only criticism I’d have is the comfort of the seat, but with a cover that’s easily fixed. Or you could buy a different seat as it’s a standard fitting. Other than that in terms of comfort, the seat height and position and handlebar height are easily adjustable.
Finally, I ordered this on a Saturday afternoon and was giving an expected delivery of 10-12 days, but it arrived on the Tuesday, so credit to the seller for that.
Would recommend, in fact already have to a few people.
I was looking for a bike that would help me adjust to life in lockdown. I try and spin up to 3 times a week as a way of keeping fit and active. I had considered getting a bike for a long time and found it difficult to decide and weigh up on the best product for the right price. Lots of bikes have delivery in 6- 8 weeks time which is not what you need when your like me and need the item once it has bene purchased! When I finally bite the bullet of purchasing this produce I was thrilled with the service. I purchased the bike last Friday and it arrived at my door last Saturday evening. I was up and running give or take 24 hours after purchase! I was amazed and thrilled with this. It was easy to put together (with the help of my boyfriend), as other suggest about 30 mins. The Bluetooth and Zwift set up was a bit tricky but just needs a bit of patience and knowhow. The weld in the attachment to the saddle was floppy so the saddle was not sitting in place properly. I emailed Simon and within moments he responded and on getting more detail I received the part the next day. Extremely nice to deal with.
Regarding the bike- Its a lot lighter than what I am used too at the gym but given it would be quarter the price this is fair enough! I didn’t fancy forking out 2000+. Its tidy, looks great and movement is quiet. I am really happy and would highly recommend. I felt compelled to write a comment due to the efficiency of the service.
Great exercise bike!
Totally satisfied with this exercise bike. Would definitely recommend it. Great for tall adults as you can purchase extension seat bar if needed. Brilliant.
As an NHS key worker who is into his fitness, I’ve been waking up at 5am to an do an outdoor run before a 10-11 hr shift….I was desperate to find an indoor bike to catch up on sleep and get cardio done in the evenings after work. The bike arrived – fairly straight forward to fit… but the the electronic monitor was missing (del very quick 2 days), Simon is a great seller and responded to my email straight away and sent a replacement monitor. If you need something to ensure you stay fit during lock down go ahead and get this bike.
Only one down side -the seat is uncomfortable compared to my previous bike , can get challenging to ride for around 30mins .
I don’t normaly write reviews but I’m so pleased with this exercise bike, it looks extreamly smart so I can leave it on display in the lounge. It is easy to assemble and very good quality. The seat is comfortable, although if you are tall you will need to buy the extension bar. The pedals are good and the monitor is very useful, showing everything you need to know and comes with batteries. Would definitely recommend this bike.
Very good
Really pleased with this product . Good quality .easy to assemble. Not your normal cheap bike . Its realky quiet in use . The only thing that needs to be more sturdy is the sea
during lockdown my wife decided to take up cycling so we can now enjoy as a family activity, i purchased this bike due to the fact i needed that extra workout which was difficult with a child and wife in tow, the item arrived over 5 days earlier than stated which was a massive bonus, it comes pretty much 80% assembled, with only the handlebars, seat, pedals and stand to install which took myself and my wife 20 minutes, once up and running i downloaded the Zwoft app created an account, started a slow pedal and the app connected to the bike instantly, once that was done it was just a matter of setting up the app which probably took longer than actually assembling the bike, the bike is very quiet and considering i’m 95kg feels very sturdy, cannot fault the quality of this bike at all and for the price in my opinion was a steal, added bonus that the wife wants to use it as well so at least when the weather is bad its no excuse, to be honest i doubt you could find a better bike/ features for the price
Easy to put together and arrived super fast!
One of the pedals was a bit faulty but the seller was so quick at responding and sent another one.
I have been using it everyday…and absolutely love it. I’ve attended spinning classes at my gym regularly prior to lockdown so was really missing cardio and appear to be putting weight on This bike is god sent, value for money and doesn’t really take up much space and is so quiet (pleasantly surprised as I’m sure one of the reviews said it wasn’t) I have downloaded the app which is free but I might upgrade as am loving it.
The only thing I think I will purchase is a seat cover.
Thank you
Very Good Produc
Easily assembled in about 30mins on my own.
No problems – love it.
Fantastic exercise bike.
Easy to set up and easy to use.
I really like the app for the competitiveness. It really motivates you.
